Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been reasonably
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. In 1931, the human
remains were removed from an
unknown location, possibly near
Yucatan, Houston County, MN. A single
rib fragment is believed to be part of a
skeleton that was discovered during
road work near Yucatan, MN, the same
year. This grave was excavated by two
students from Luther College, but a site
number was not assigned or recorded.
The Minnesota Office of the State
Archaeologist has no record of a site in
the general area. The skeleton was
encased in plaster and kept at the
Vesterheim Norwegian American
Museum in Decorah, IA. At an unknown
date, the human remains were
transferred to Luther College. The
skeleton was reburied in the 1970s in an
unknown location by a student affiliated
with Luther College. In 2001, a rib
fragment believed to belong to this set
of remains was discovered in the Luther
College Archaeological Laboratory and
was transferred to the OSA–BP. An
adult of indeterminate age and sex is
represented by this fragment (BP 1473).
